Product description
b/w
Boris Karloff is arguably the most unforgettable of all screen monsters in this film. Frankenstein is considered by many to be the greatest horror film of all time.
Dr. Frankenstein dares to experiment with life and death, creating a human monster from dead body parts. But the doctor's dreams are shattered by the violent outbursts of his creature, which awakens in a world where it is not welcome.
Director James Whale's adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel blends decay and ruin with creepy lyricism. Boris Karloff, in the role with which he will forever be associated, offers a pitiful portrait of a creature desperately searching for an identity.
Bonus material:
